Trump ruins everything

As Elysha so rightly pointed out, Donald Trump find a way to ruin a lot of things, including some unintentionally. This placemat of the President of the United States is an excellent example.

We spotted it in a gift shop in Vermont at the ancestral home of Robert Todd Lincoln. We though it would be nice to have the kids learn about the Presidents while they eat their breakfast, but unfortunately Trump is on the placement, making it the last thing either one of my children would ever want to see while eating.

In fairness, there are also Presidents like Nixon and Jackson on the placement, too, but we weren’t forced to live through their racism, brutality, criminality, and corruption, so they are slightly more palatable.

I’m also fairly certain that although Nixon and Jackson (and perhaps others were not good men, neither of them betrayed our country by conspiring with a foreign power, nor were they stupid, inarticulate men, which elevates them over the current President by at least a few measures.
